GHABLES EDWARD N or LONDON, ENGLAND- v QAN em" To all whom it may concern j Be it known that I, Crrannns EDWARD GREEN, a sub ect of theKing of (irreat Britain, residing at LondomEngland, have 1nvented certain new and useful Improvements in Candle-Lamps, of which the followmg is a specification. i

ihe present inventlon relates to 1mprovements in candle sticks and particularly to the combination of a vaseand candle stlck commonly knownas a candle lamp.

The object of the invention is to produce a device of the character described with means of a novel and simple construction for adjustably supporting the candle stick in and connecting the latter with the vase in such a manner as to render thegsame ornamental and effective as alamp.

With the above objects in view, the invention consists in the provision of a vase adapted to support a candle stick'ofsuch a construction asto simulate an ornamental candle, said candle stick consisting of a candle simulating member and of means for supporting a candle therein and out of view; and in a peculiar fastening means for supporting the candle simulating and candle supporting means in position on the vase.

With the above objects in view, the invention further consists in the novel arrange ment and combination of parts hereinafter more fully described and finally pointed out in the appended claims.

A device constructed in accordance with.

the invention is shown in the single figure of the accompanying drawings, partly in section, to clearly illustrate certain detailed construction thereof.

Referring particularly to the drawings, D denotes the vase, which is of any suitable or desired ornamental. construction, being provided at its upper end with an opening 1; The candle stick 9. is adapted tobe inserted in the opening 1 of the vase D and comprises a sleeve or tube B formed adjacent its upper end with a head I), and so colored and designed as to simulate a candle. The candle stick 2, also, comprises a candle-contain ing tube G having one end open and the other end closed, the latter end extending through the opening 1 into the vase D. The candle simulating tube B surrounds or envelops a portion of the tube C extending from the vase D with the exception of its Specification of Letters Patent.

upper extremity which is capped by the second sleeve F formed with a bayonet or l sljotf' adapted to have the projection 0 cooperate therewith to lock the parts C and F together and in position. I

The size of the candle tube C may vary, according to the size of the candle desired to be used; and, also, the candle or simulatingvsleeve B may vary in size and diameter according to the size and character of the candle desired to be simulated and the size of the candle tube G used in connection therewith. It is preferred to make the candle. simulating sleeve B of celluloid, and the sleeve F and the candle tubeC ofmetahor any other desired non-combustible material. ,An annular ring or cap E is fitted in the opening 1 of-the vase D and overliesthe edges of the opening to protect the same. A ferrule A surrounds and frictionally en 1 gages the candletube G, thus permitting the same to be adjusted thereupon. The ferrule is formed with an outwardly extending flange rolled upwardly upon itself to form a resilient bead 5, the purpose of Whichwill be later described.

Whenthe parts of the present invention are assembled, the ferrule A is suitably adjusted on the candle tube C, the end of the tube being inserted in the opening 1 of the vaseD and the ferrule A being threaded in the cap E, as shown in the. drawings, for securing the candle in the desired adjusted position. The candle simulating sleeve B is also placed around the tube C and has its.

lower end resting upon theflange of the ferrule A and held intoposition bv the resilient beading 5, as shown in the drawing. The sleeve F is then placed upon the upper end of the tube C and locked in position.

It will thus be seen that by the fastening means consisting of the ferrule A and the cap E a candle stick maybe applied and rigidly secured to a vase of any suitable character without injuring or chipping the edges of the vase. It will'also be seen that by the construction of the fastening means a simulating tube or sleeve B of any desired length may be used by so adjusting the ferrule B upon the tube 0, it being understood that one feature of the invention is the provision of the resilient heading 5 which frictionally engages the candle simulating tube and holds the same in a substantially rigid position, thus preventing" the same from-,

leaning or tilting out of' proper position which may be caused by vibration.

Having thus described my invention, it is believed that a full'and clear understanding may behad, however, certam changes as to the precise construction, combination and arrangementof parts maybe resorted to that fall within the legitimate scopeof the appended claims. r I
